Conversation and Book Signing with Banafsheh Sayyad

We’re pleased to invite you to a special conversation and book signing with Banafsheh Sayyad, co-hosted by the Bijan Ghaisar Library and Pars Place and moderated by Termeh Rassi.

Join sacred dancer, author, and visionary teacher Banafsheh Sayyad for an inspiring evening featuring an intimate conversation, a reading and signing of her new book, and a whirling workshop. Through these offerings, participants are invited to experience sacred dance as both wisdom and embodied practice—a path to peace, resilience, coherence, and a deeper sense of belonging.

Banafsheh shares insights and offers guidance for our profound time of chaos, uncertainty, and possibility in this talk that delves into the essential teachings of her book, Dance of Oneness: Embody Love & Luminosity to Transform Your Life. She will share personal stories behind the writing, reflect on the healing and transformative power of sacred dance, and explore why embodiment is paramount to awakening peace, wholeness, and positive change—within ourselves, our communities, and the world.

Copies of Dance of Oneness may be purchased on Amazon or at Pars Place on the day of the event. This event leads into a deeper embodied experience of sacred dance as a spiritual practice as described in Banafsheh’s book. Integrate this experience by journeying with Banafsheh in a whirling workshop that returns you to your center where you can access resilience, calm, and coherence.
